Yeah, the tents should be leather, so the better option is to paint the fabric ones brown. Legio III Gallica in New Orleans did that, and it came out pretty impressively. Even harder-core would be to paint a bunch of canvas, cut it into rectangular panels, and sew together to look even more like the goatskin ones.<br>

As for decorating tents in general, I don't see why not! After all, the shields and other personal gear are all decorated, and there are only 1/8 as many tents in a legion as shields. Luckily, there is really no evidence for decorated tents (except maybe the higher officers), so we're safe on that one.<br>
